That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 836 It is only natural to raise workers' wages

With the "help" of the factory manager, the low-price dumping and malicious competition with its peers of one branch were barely prevented, but Director Han turned to the second page of the notebook.

"I will continue to investigate the issue of low-price dumping. Also, someone reported that one of our factories randomly distributed money to workers. How do you explain this? Is the wage standard set by the state unreasonable? Do you think you can spend public money however you want?"

This time, no one from the main factory helped the branch factory to explain, and the factory director looked at Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang with a playful look.

After all, if a branch factory pays out an extra 10,000 yuan in wages, the main factory will get less than 5,000 yuan in profits. And there are 2,000 people in the branch factory!
With such a large sum of money in the hands of the head office, how much can be done?

Li Ye pursed his lips and took a deep breath to dispel the annoyance in his chest.

Guan Liang only opened a trading company for two or three months, but he was able to spend 300,000 yuan to buy an imported Civic. Where did he get the money? Why don't you check the "public money can be spent as you want"?

Li Ye also tried every possible way to make money, and his money was an astronomical figure, but he didn't forget his workers, right? A 100 yuan increase this year, a 100 yuan increase next year, and a continuous increase for ten years, isn't it just a drop in the bucket? How could it be wrong?

Compared to Li Ye's disgust, Lu Zhizhang has become accustomed to it.
He quietly opened the notebook, found a page, and explained with a smile: "When we first received the task of management reform, we explored and experimented in various aspects, and then found that appropriately raising wages is one of the effective ways to improve productivity."

"We now have nearly 130 employees in our first branch, producing an average of more than vehicles per month, and there is still potential to be tapped."

If it happened in later times, Lu Zhizhang would be scolded to death for saying these words. Producing one car per person per month, what kind of efficiency is this?
But if this efficiency was applied in the 1980s, we would have the guts to say “we are excellent”.

The number of people at the main factory is more than three times that of the branch factory, but the annual output may be less than that of the branch factory.

And this is not the worst. Hongyan Automobile in Sichuan Province received more than 10 million foreign exchange investment from the state in the 1960s. However, in more than ten years, it only produced a few hundred heavy trucks. Can you calculate the per capita output?

However, people did not take Lu Zhizhang's "excellence" seriously at all.

“Your first branch has indeed achieved some results, but according to the reports we received, the subsidies you have increased for workers are all above the normal wages.

An ordinary worker can actually get 200 yuan a month, which is higher than many factory directors!"

Lu Zhizhang's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to smile: "We have indeed improved a lot of employee benefits, but compared with the increased production and quality, the increased wages are worth it. After all, every additional car produced will bring thousands of yuan in profit."

"That's not how the accounts are calculated. No matter how much profit there is, it belongs to the country, not to individuals. Since someone has reported it to the ministry, this is a serious problem and you must take it seriously."

The people above started to chatter on and on about the same old stuff, all of which were about "carrying forward one's style", "actively contributing" and "being diligent and frugal". Li Ye lowered his head and felt depressed after listening to them.

What's wrong with workers' monthly salary of 200 yuan? In Shenzhen, monthly salary of 500 or 600 yuan is not new now. Just because your salary is only 200 or 300 yuan, do you think that 200 yuan is too high for workers?
Looking at the many old-timers who are slacking off in the workplace now, it proves that times have changed. If you don’t give them some sweet treats, they will fall asleep.

"In short, you must pay attention to this issue. Our production enthusiasm and our combat effectiveness cannot be solved by money alone. This is ridiculous."

[How ridiculous! How can we get motivated to produce without money? ]

Li Ye was completely speechless.

In his previous life, he was once queuing up in a mobile business hall to handle business. He saw a Huawei guy repairing a device, and he started crying while he was repairing it.

The kid in his twenties was literally in tears.

Li Ye couldn't bear it, so he said to the pretty lobby manager, "They've been fixing it for a long time, why don't you give them a glass of water to comfort them?"

Originally, Li Ye's idea was for a beautiful woman to go over and comfort the boy, and then he would stop crying.

The lobby manager said in a complicated tone, "He earns 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month, and gets a big bonus at the end of the year. How do you think I should comfort him?"

"."

Li Ye thought at the time that if he was given an annual salary of 300,000 or 400,000 yuan, he would work while crying.

And it turned out to be true. The guy cried while calling his superiors for technical support. By the time Li Ye finished the business, the system had actually been repaired.

It turns out that people who earn 3,000 yuan a month have no right to comfort people who earn 30,000 yuan a month, because what they are repairing is not a machine, but their own beautiful life.

So is it really ridiculous to increase workers' wages by 100 yuan per month?
It’s only natural to give a raise to workers who work hard, right?

. . . . . . . .

Li Ye kept his head down and listened without letting anything go in or out of the meeting. After three hours, he finally made it to the end of the meeting.

"Under the correct guidance of the ministry leaders, our company's management reform has achieved gratifying results. The production profit has increased by 130% compared with the same period last year. We have begun to promote the learning experience throughout the company. The next step is to appropriately expand the production of the 136 improved model and increase the production capacity of the new car."

"Our unit is at a critical stage of transformation and development. All cadres and employees are united and ready to devote themselves to the country's mission."

The factory director made his final speech, affirming that the management reform over the past year had been a huge success, but the reason for the success had nothing to do with Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang, the two parties involved. It was entirely due to good command from above, and it was not just one branch that had achieved gratifying results, but the entire unit.

This is very interesting.

That 55% profit growth is obviously all the profit handed over by one branch factory, right?

A branch factory with 2,000 employees produces more than 2,000 cars per month, which is more than the output of the main factory. Isn't it worth your separate mention?

However, Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang sat silently, writing and drawing on their notebooks, as if they were carefully recording the content of the meeting, without any doubts or objections.

Meetings have their own rules. Today, Ma Zhaoxian was not at the company due to some matters, so no leader of the same level spoke for Li Ye and Ma Zhaoxian. Director Han, who came to "listen" this time, was not a big shot who could control the situation, so there was no need for him to haggle over such "small calculations".

Of course, Li Ye is not an open-minded saint, he kept this little plan in mind!

Didn’t the factory director say that we should “appropriately expand the production of the improved 130” and “all cadres should make full contributions”?

Then I will devote myself to just one branch factory. What does the life and death of the main factory have to do with me?
But Li Ye felt that it was none of his business, but others did not think so.

After the briefing, it was customary to entertain guests. The factory director and several cadres at or above the department level sat in a separate room with Director Han, while small-time middle-level officials like Li Ye sat at several tables together.

Li Ye originally wanted to show up and then slip away, but several section chiefs from the main factory pulled Li Ye aside to chat and laugh, toasting each other, as if they were good brothers who had not seen each other for many years and were meeting again.

Li Ye doesn't trust these brothers. There is no such thing as enthusiasm without reason.

Sure enough, after three rounds of drinks, the production section chief Cheng Zhijian took Li Ye's hand and said, "Brother, you are now a star cadre in our factory. The leaders above are praising you."

"Section Chief Ding is ill and hospitalized. He has not been to the company for several days. Our factory's production plan has been delayed.
Brother, you are very capable. Please think of a way. Please help us transfer a batch of engines and gearboxes here. We will supply your branch factory after Chief Ding comes to work."

"My master is sick? I didn't know it yet! I have to go check it out."

"Hey, Deputy Director Li, you don't have to rush right now! Give me a definite answer first so I can arrange production tomorrow~"

Li Ye was worried that he would not have the chance to dawdle! When he heard that his master Lao Ding was ill, he stood up and ran away. No matter how Cheng Zhijian called out to him from behind, he pretended not to hear.

It's not impossible to get a gearbox or an engine, but you have to at least give him a title. For example, if the management reform is a huge success, Li Ye's name must be ranked first, and titles such as advanced, model, and medals should be arranged for him first.

Just thinking a few words can get you a super cheap gearbox and engine. How easy do you think it is?
. . . . . . . . .

Li Ye drove straight to his master Lao Ding's home, but when he entered the house, he saw Lao Ding sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, watching TV. He didn't look sick at all.

"Master, I heard from Mr. Cheng in the production department that you are sick."

Lao Ding asked playfully, "So do you think I'm really sick?"

Li Ye said seriously, "Master, what kind of trouble is it that forces you to pretend to be sick?"

"There's no trouble at all," Lao Ding said proudly, "At the end of last month, they forced me to solve the problem of 500 sets of engines and gearboxes this month. If I didn't, they would fire me."

"Humph, this is an old trick from decades ago, and you're still trying to use it on me? I just want to let them know that if I'm fired, they won't even get 200 sets a month."

Li Ye: "."

Old Ding looked at Li Ye, then smiled and said, "Of course, my little bit of face still depends on your support."

Li Ye sighed and said, "Master, we met too late. It would be better if you were younger. Alas~"

Old Ding is already fifty-eight years old, otherwise Li Ye really thinks he can be of great use.

But Old Ding crossed his legs again and said very casually: "It's not too late at all. Isn't there still one or two years? A lot can be done in one or two years!"
